Kaelyn, Autism and GFCF Diet….
As some of you know… Kaelyn has many symptoms of Autism. She does strange hand gestures, arm flapping, has an obsession with “sameness”, lack of eye contact and limited affection, decreased sensitivty to pain. The biggest is that she is 2 and a half and was only able to speak about 8 words on a regular basis.(mamma, daddy, cup, juice, shit (I KNOW) and she could count 1-4, with YEAH being 5) Most of these symptoms she had only to a limited extent, but they were present. She has not been diagnosed with Autism, though her doctor has told us that she needs the testing and will be in speech therapy…
and then she recommended we try the gluten and casein free diet.
